Wayfaring Ways To Be

Wayfaring Ways To Be

Solo Exhibition
Hanart TZ Gallery, Hong Kong (2025)

Two things distinguish the human species: an ability to walk upright, and a capacity to think, straight and crooked. Walking expands horizons. Eyes travel further. Thinking loosens the tongue, in joy, in awe, in shame, in audacity. We begin talking, and we have not stopped.

Wayfaring Ways To Be is an invitation to a journey where language, movement, and thought converge. The works probe what it means to be in motion and to think deeply in an era when machines increasingly mimic what once were faculties exclusive to us. The bicameral brains of human beings now need to ask why and what still needs thinking, or talking about.

The exhibition interrogates familiar modes of being. In questioning, “Why walk? Why think? Why talk?”, the works evoke the tactile nature of our existence—each step, each whispered thought, an invitation to recalibrate our humanity. Here, walking demands a philosophy and thinking, requires a thought. This redefinition challenges us to imagine identities that are as multifaceted as they are elusive. In doing so, scenarios, diagrams, landscapes and characters are formed. All sorts of beings and un-becomings, dream-drones and dragons, cyborgs, goblins and angels, ghosts and aliens, and a few sly trespassers from ordinary life, in drag or disguise, may be found here.
